  • Publication number: 20240155045
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for read-only data store replication to edge locations are disclosed. A read-only data store is replicated to an edge server. A request for content is received at the edge server from a client device. The content is sought from a content cache at the edge server or from an origin server coupled to the edge server. Processing of the request is initiated, comprising encountering an event. The event is associated with a function specified by a customer, and the function specifies the read-only data store as input. The function associated with the event is executed at the edge server, including retrieval of data from the data store. The content is generated based at least in part on execution of the function. The content is sent from the edge server to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20240152402
    Abstract: Descriptors of machine learning tasks to be used to respond to analysis requests, indicating acceptable categories of runtime environments for the tasks and metrics to be collected from the tasks, are received via programmatic interfaces. In response to an analysis request, an orchestrator receives results from individual tasks as they become available, provides the results to other tasks, and causes a response to the request to be prepared using results from at least a subset of the tasks. Metrics collected from the tasks, and a visual representation of the tasks indicating their runtime environments are presented.

  • Publication number: 20240155039
    Abstract: A service implemented at a first isolated virtual network of a provider network is added to a database of privately-accessible services. Configuration changes that enable network packets to flow between the first isolated virtual network and a second isolated virtual network without utilizing a network address accessible from the public Internet are implemented. Service requests originating at the second isolated virtual network are transmitted to the first isolated virtual network via private pathways of the provider network. Metrics corresponding to service requests directed from the second isolated network to the service are collected and provided to the respective owners of one or both isolated virtual networks.

  • Publication number: 20240152530
    Abstract: For a given cross-data-store transaction request at a storage service, a coordinator transmits respective voting transition requests to a plurality of log-based transaction managers (LTMs) configured for the respective data stores to which writes are directed in the transaction. The LTMs transmit responses to the coordinator based on data-store-specific conflict detection performed using contents of the voting transition requests and respective data-store-specific state transition logs. The coordinator determines a termination status of the cross-data-store transaction based on the LTMs' responses, and provides an indication of the termination status to the LTMs.

  • Publication number: 20240152510
    Abstract: Representations of sets of descriptors of reference objects are stored in a repository, with individual descriptors including information about entities identified in the reference objects. In response to a request to extract content from a particular data object, a reference object which satisfies a similarity criterion with respect to the particular data object is identified from the repository using the descriptors. A structural comparison of the particular data object and the reference object is performed to determine an entity related to another entity identified in the particular data object.

  • Patent number: 11979489
    Abstract: A database stores a document as a plurality of encrypted records, where each record is indicative of an incremental change to the state of the document, and encrypted using a document key. The document key is stored with encryption decryptable using a group key, and the group key is stored with encryption decryptable using a first access key. In response to a request to rotate from the first access key to a second access key, the database decrypts the group key using the first access key, a stores a group key re-encrypted with the second access key.

  • Patent number: 11977359
    Abstract: Described is a method for determining when to transition devices between different states based on determined potential activity in an area near the devices. When the potential for activity near an input device is below a threshold, the device is maintained in an inactive state. When the potential for activity near the device exceeds the threshold, the device is transitioned to an active state before the potential activity can occur near the device. Likewise, when the device is in an active state, the implementations described herein provide the ability to determine when to begin and end transmission of data from the device to a remote computing resource for processing. For example, obtained video may be processed locally to determine if an activity is occurring. If an activity is occurring, relevant data is sent to a remote computing resource to determine if an action has been performed during the activity.

  • Patent number: 11977711
    Abstract: A resource tagging service allows resource tags to be created and associated with computing resources in a service provider network. The resource tags can be utilized to search, collect, filter, organize and otherwise manage computing resources in the service provider network having matching tags, and/or to perform other types of functionality. A resource groups service allows customers and/or other users of the service provider network to view and access collections of computing resources that share common resource tags and/or other attributes. Resource groups can also be evaluated in order to identify computing resources in a service provider network for which certain types of actions or other functionality is to be performed. Membership of resource groups can also be evaluated over time and inferences can be drawn from the membership and from operational information associated with the member computing resources.

  • Patent number: 11978413
    Abstract: Techniques for low latency updating of an electrophoretic panel are described. According to such techniques, pixels may be continuously scanned out instead of buffering and updating at fixed scanning slots. In an example, a controller of a device loads, before receiving update data associated with a pixel of an electrophoretic panel, a LUT into a memory accessible to a LUT hardware module. After the LUT is loaded into the memory, the controller receives the update data indicating a color change to the pixel and associates the update data with the LUT. Based at least in part on the update data and the LUT, the controller determines waveform data corresponding to the color change and causes an output on the electrophoretic panel based at least in part on the waveform data.

  • Patent number: 11977957
    Abstract: A quantum computing service may store, in a cache, one or more compiled files of respective quantum functions included in one or more quantum computing programs received one or more customers. When the quantum computing service receives another quantum computing program, from the same or a different customer, the quantum computing service may determine whether the quantum computing program may include one or more of the quantum functions corresponding to the compiled files in the cache. If so, the quantum computing service may use the compiled files in the cache to compile the quantum computing program.

  • Patent number: 11977496
    Abstract: A system, method and processor that mitigates security vulnerabilities using context-dependent address space hiding. In some embodiments, a hardware mechanism allows a more-privileged software component managing multiple less-privileged software components to blind itself against “out-of-context” less-privileged software components. The hardware mechanism can allow the more-privileged software component to dynamically hide a portion of the more-privileged address space related to the “out-of-context” less-privileged software components, based on knowledge of the “in-context” less-privileged software component. A context register is set with a value from which an address range, within the address space of the more-privileged software component, can be determined, where the address range is associated with a first less-privileged software component can be determined.
